During the month of December the members of the Gecko Galz Design Team are creating Christmas tags. Today is my day.

I knew I wanted a shiny background for my Gecko Galz angel tag so I cut a box that at one time held a bottle of perfume. After cutting it into the shape of a tag, I attached an angel on top of a piece of lace which has been attached at the bottom of the tag.

For this tag I covered a shopping tag with Christmas designer paper that had snowflakes on it. I attached the two Gecko Galz images and stamped a greeting. A piece of ribbon with snowflakes on it competes this tag.

I again covered a regular tag with designer paper.. I added a Christmas sticker and cut the angel image and greeting apart and used only part of the greeting.

Please go and visit Gecko Galz Scrapbooking website to see all the sample tags from the other team members and learn about all the challenges and giveaways.

November at Gecko Galz means thinking ahead to Christmas. The customer challenge this month is "Deck the Halls". I chose to use images from the Christmas Carolers sheet today. I hope these will put you in the Christmas mood.

Here is a couple of samples from Gecko Galz along with a freebie just for you.

Below is a Gecko Galz image I decided to color using watercolors. I am pleased with the results.

I combined the background image from Gecko Galz with the woman image of Lunagirl. Lunagirl Lunagirl Moonbeams begins a challenge Monday of Anything Goes so I am using an image from one of the Lunagirl CDs

Here is the freebie from Gecko Galz. Give them a visit and tell them how much your appreciate their giving you all the freebies the past months.

With the beginning of June Lunagirl Moonbeams began a new themed challenge. It is very appropriately "Fathers and Brothers. My card this time emphasizes "Brothers". I used a number of papers to make up the background on this card.
